Tax-exempt organizations are held to an extremely high standard. They can expect donors, the government, the media and the general public to all scrutinize their operations. Although nonprofits usually don’t pay taxes, they do prepare an annual informational return (Federal Form 990) to showcase how they use their funds and fulfill their mission.

The nonprofit tax specialists at Mildrid Esua CPA & Advisor will work closely with you on both the financial and narrative sections of this public document. We will work with you so your 990 paints an accurate and compelling picture of your nonprofit’s mission, financial health, governance standards and operational effectiveness.

Beyond our meticulous Form 990 work, we also handle all aspects of nonprofit tax planning, tax-related regulatory compliance, tax analysis and more. We guide your organization through the myriad of rules and regulations involved in maintaining its tax-exempt status, so you can focus on your important work.
